Galaga upright restoration
Mauzy:
Wow. Definitely got your money out of that repair. Whilst getting a Pac board fixed I asked how he can charge low flat rate like that. Apparently he gets a lot of single part fixes, but a few "real work" (like yours) fixes. It evens out. At any rate, he does great work.
kayoteq:
Yeah, I was impressed by his setup, and I think it's like any repair service; sometimes it's just one chip turned around, sometimes it's a major undertaking.
I had mixed feelings about this, being the techie sort.. more like 'I hope it's complicated', because I tried and tried to figure out the problem..
Only glitch I've had was some lines that appeared in the bug explosions, but they went away in the same game.. dunno what's going on there. More testing, more testing. I've been getting some good 160k+ scores. Guess it's the convenience of having a barstool and no distractions. I get my Rush mix tape going and I'm Twin Galaxies bound ;D
Mauzy:
I was worried about the same thing. I needed most of the chips on my 284 and 285 boards and all my video rams replaced on that Pac, so I was glad to see it was something I would have never figured out at that time.
Make sure you have the Exit... Stage Left version of YYZ on there. Good stuff for sure.

Heh, it was also a reference to the Futurama episode..
"Everybody: stay in straight lines and move left to right in formation!"
Mauzy:
Yeah. I thought so, just making sure you make it right... :cheers:
